Mainstream American fashion has always been influenced by Native American design, and that's because Native artists have always created exquisite clothing, jewelry, and accessories of<br>their own. But it's only recently that Native designers themselves have started to break into the fashion industry in a big way. Current Native fashion is both wearable and beautiful and, <br>as this volume reveals, increasingly fashion-forward. Divided into sections according to the designers' personal styles, the book showcases the work of dozens of fashion designers, from<br>Virgil Ortiz to Patricia Michaels to Jamie Okuma. The book<br>even includes a few Native-influenced pieces by non-Native<br>designers like Isaac Mizrahi and Ralph Lauren. Native Fashion<br>Now designers have dressed presidents' wives and been<br>finalists on Project Runway, sold their work around the world, <br>and seen it acquired by museums and private collectors. With<br>examples that range from haute couture to casual streetwear, <br>from evening gowns to beaded boots, and from skateboards to<br>umbrellas, Native Fashion Now demonstrates the extraordinary<br>range and talent of designers who honor important cultural<br>traditions while creating breathtaking of-the-moment fashion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Full page, high quality, color photographs comprise the majority of this book. Reproductions are visually stunning and the captions are thoroughly informative. Dust jacket photos are eye-catching, and the book's coffee table size is fitting. The thick, glossy pages and a solidly stitched binding result in a durable, high-quality volume. In addition to photography credits, Kramer has included a selected bibliography for additional research leads and a comprehensive index that allows the reader to access information from a variety of angles. <p/>--<i>The Art Institute of Chicago</i><br>
